100% Tannat, a sturdy, yet potentially alluring varietal originating in France that found a new home in Uruguay as the small winegrowing nation's signature grape. This has a radiant amber, purple color and a honey-like texture, with a bouquet that offers hints of winter flowers, Madagascar vanilla bean and wild apple with a touch of white chocolate. Exotic, exciting, and delicious with chocolate desserts.
Alcyone is the combination of two different Italian techniques for dessert wines, the Barolo chinato and the Marsala, creating a new one that produce a unique wine. This wine is aromatized with different roots and herbs like Marsala and Barolo chinato and fortified with brandy. The base wine was aged for several years in French oak barrels.
